Article: Intel® Desktop Board D101GGC Review (Embracing 3rd Party Chipset?) - Part II

I have posted the second part of the review of this motherboard. This time, I covered compatibility, reliability, and stability of the board when used with an even higher model of processors. If you missed the first part of the review, you can still continue reading it and hitting "Prev" button or visit Article: Intel® Desktop Board D101GGC Review (Embracing 3rd Party Chipset?) - Part I. In any case, the 2nd part is up and you can check it out at Article: Intel® Desktop Board D101GGC Review (Embracing 3rd Party Chipset?) - Part II

IX. Processor Compatibility and Performance Comparison

In this next installment of the review, I will focus on the compatibility feature of the motherboard. It is not common for Intel®-based motherboard that several processors are used to test compatibility. But since this is a 3rd party chipset, I feel that a broad range of processors must be used to ensure the stability of the product.

For this portion of continuation of the review, I will use two more processors:

* Intel® Pentium® 4 520ES (2.8GHz/1MB/800MHz/HT)
* Intel® Pentium® D 840ES@820 (3.2GHz@2.8GHz/2x1MB/800MHz/DC)

The reason for changing the speed of the Intel® Pentium® D 840ES is to emulate a similar or near similar clock speed compared to the previous processor used in the first part of the review: Intel® Pentium® 4 510ES ((2.8GHz/1MB/533MHz).
